TABLE-SUPPORT.

' Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 3, 1905.

Application filed November 28, 1904. Serial No- 234,630.

To (tZZ whom, zit may concern.-

Be it known that I, CH RLES T. KINCAID, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois: haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Table-Supports, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention is a device whereby one table may be supported uponanother, particularly for exhibition purposes. It is designed especiallyfor use with extension-tables, as will more fully appear hereinafter.

The object of the invention is to support a table in the mannerindicated, so thatit can be rotated, if desired, without scratchingormarring the top of the lower table.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a top plan View of the deviceapplied to a table. Fig. 2 is a cross-section thereof. Fig. 3 is alongitudinal section thereof.

Referring specifically to the drawings, 6 indicates an ordinaryextension-table, the top of which is separable in a well-known manner. Tis a cross-piece extending under the top thereof and connecting thesliding side bars 8. This cross-piece is a common and well-known featureof extension-tables and is shown provided with a supporting-leg 9,

which is usually located under the center ofthe table. The deviceforming the subject of my invention is supported upon this crosspiece 7.

11 indicates a block which rests upon the cross-piece, where it is heldby oppositelydisposed clips 12, which engage said crosspiece on oppositesides. Upon this block 11 is mounted a standard 13, preferably made ofmetal and forming the pivotal support for the rotatable cross-arms 14,which are held upon the standard by a pivot-pin 15, upon which the armsare free to turn. Each arm-has thereon a cupped block 16 to receive afoot of the table to be supported. These blocks are held on the arms byclips 17, permitting the blocks to be moved along the arms, ac

cording to the size of the table to be supported.

In the use of the device the lower table-top is pulled apart or extendeda sufficient distance to allow the block 11 and standard 13 to be placedtherebetween and fixed upon the crossbar 7. This does not detract undulyfrom the appearance of the lower table. The upper table is then mountedupon the arms 14, in which position it may be turned around to show allsides. The device can be very quickly put in place or removed. Forwarehouse purposes tables can be stacked up three or more high by theuse of the device on successive'tables.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A support comprising a block constructed to be supported upon a lowertable, and rotatable arms pivoted on the block and adjustable withrespect to each other and constructed to support an upper table.

2. A device for supporting one tableabove another, comprising a blockconstructed to be supported upon the lower table, and arms mounted onthe block and having foot-rests adjustable along the same for the uppertable.

3. A device for supporting one table above another, comprising a blockhaving strips constructed to engage a cross-piece of the lower table,and arms mounted on the block and having foot-rests for the upper table.

4. A device for supporting one table above another, comprising a blockhaving means to engage the cross-piece under the top of the lower table,a standard projecting from the block, between the sections of the top,and arms rotatably mounted on top of the standard, and projecting abovethelower table, and having foot-rests for the upper table.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

CHARLES T. KINCAID.
